So lonely

[Eggbuttie]

I'm really struggling this weekend and feel so so lonely.

On the surface I've got a great life. 2 great kids, loving husband, nice home and good job but I'm just so lonely.

I thought I had a good group of friends but they've all been out this weekend without me and its really stung. I work remotely in a job I started over lockdown so not made any work friends. I've been trying with the school mums but they have also arranged a night without me after I messaged today seeing if anyone was free. I feel so stupid.

I don't really have much in the way of family just a brother who lives far away and isn't interested. And my DH is currently working away until after Christmas.

I've got a few nice things planned for the kids the next few weeks but no adult company.

Probably a combination of the friends not inviting you out, but perhaps they think you can’t come as got the kids to yourself. Don’t feel stupid for putting yourself out there. Sometimes you have to and I would keep going with that approach.

Why is your husband away for Christmas?

My husband works away (abroad) for a few months at a time and this time its over Christmas, he's done this for years and we're used to it just have alternative Christmas when he's home.

It is maybe the combination of two separate rejections in 2 days. I do have reliable babysitting through an agency which I use when/if I go out so that's not a problem.
